Microsoft GlobalMLBuildingFootprints and RapiD

Microsoft have release their database of global building footprints https://github.com/microsoft/GlobalMLBuildingFootprints. They explain that the data is within RapiD where availablehttps://github.com/microsoft/GlobalMLBuildingFootprints#will-the-data-be-used-or-made-available-in-the-larger-openstreetmap-ecosystem. I am struggling to see if this recent data is actually within RapiD (https://mapwith.ai/rapid).

When using RapiD I can see the option for RapiD assist with “Microsoft Buildings (worldwide)”. However, I have examined a few places and I do not get RapiD suggestions for places that are missing in OSM but present within the microsoft GlobalMLBuildingFootprints.

Is this because RapiD do not provide many suggestions? Or is it that some of the data is not yet available in RapiD?
